He didn't say for sure it was an 044, he said he THOUGHT it might be an 044. You could wait about 3 months and put it back on the bay when it'll bring more money (and fees). I, personally, think that when people put something up for sale they should know a little bit about what they're selling!
True, that. But it's not
my job to edumacate them
So I tore it down this morning and this is what I have:
Good Parts:
Tank, flywheel side of c'case, clutch ass'y, oiler, c'shaft, piston, one good bearing (the pricey one), coil, chain brake guts, chain adjuster, carburetor & all linkages, intake boot.
Bad parts(present):
Clutch side of c'case, flywheel* (metal), carb box, filter base, one c'shaft bearing (the cheap one), chain brake handle
*Could probably run it as it's only missing a couple of fins
Missing parts:
Cylinder, muffler, pull start ass'y, cylinder cover, air filter cover, air filter
Now the debate begins. The starting point is I only have about $45 in it so far.
